What Bourbon Did You Purchase Today? Fall 2013

[B.B. Babington]

Not a bad day of bourbon hunting.

Looks like a great day to me, and tomorrow.

[MyOldKyDram]

Indeed, not bad at all. Cheers!

Not purchased, but received a Rod & Rifle bourbon for a birthday gift. Never heard of it before, but father in law thought I might enjoy it since it has a hunting & fishing theme. Hmmm. Neat bottle, apprehensive about what's inside.

I suspect your apprehension is justified! Although I have no personal experience to confirm this.

There are all kinds of references to it being 2 year LDI, but it's apparently now 4 year old from... Tennessee?

It has been in republics warehouse since late last week. I'm guessing they were figuring out allocations. Same old "much less than last year" song and dance.

I have dreams that one day I received a phone call and my rep told me, "good news, we are getting you more than last year". Then I woke up.

You think they'd have a spreadsheet or something worked out beforehand. Now i picture 10 reps playing poker for who gets the most bottles for their area. I'm amazed how many more restaurants/bars i'm seeing the BTAC in these days, leads me to believe that's the real roadblock to higher store allocations.

They are following the wine model that worked so well. Those $70 bottles of chardonnay are just flying off the shelves.

Having your product front and center on a bar is free advertising but its not the high end products sitting on the bar of multi million dollar restaurants that is allowing the distilleries to thrive. Its the store selling boatloads of burnetts, heaven hill or taaka vodka.

Picked up a bottle of Black Maple Hill small batch for around $45. I have not heard great things about the NAS, but this is the first time I have seen it on the shelves so I am going to give it a go.

I've only had it once and really enjoyed it, but I keep hearing that the batchs vary in quality. The price is steep but I'm always willing to give something a try, at least once.

picked up a old forester birthday bourbon today

[Wryguy]

I went in to my local for some beer and a looksie at the bourbon. I also had a drop in my flask to share with the local whiskey monger, and he pulled out a Stagg Jr. for me to take home. Nice to have a backup.

[kcgumbohead]

I picked up an Old Forester birthday bottle, I have never had it and it was a bit tough to track down, I am looking forward to this one after so many positive reviews.

[TunnelTiger]

My apologies, I believe it was labeled small batch.

Bought two bottles of FRSB private selection form the gift shop, OESK 12yr 7 month ~120 proof.

[ThirstyinOhio]

Picked up two bottles of Stagg jr, first time seeing it here in Ohio.

[kyrocklover]

Picked up a Russell's Reserve Single Barrel and an EH Taylor Barrel Proof, uncut and unfiltered 135.4.

[theglobalguy]

another 4R LEsB '13 and a WR DO SB. My wife's exact words were "don't you already have two of those four roses? you better open this one if you buy a third". Oh, i will.

[DBM]

Not bourbon, but baby Saz just showed up for the first time (that I know of) in WA so I picked up a bottle.

[bingstein]

AAA10 yr for $10. Price tag fell off and naive youth said he'd sell it for the same price at the AA.

Small victories.

[393foureyedfox]

fell off, huh?:skep:

[squire]

Sure, I've seen that happen lotsa times.
